HP SIM 7.5.0 and SNMPv3

rleonard — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 04:08:16 GMT

Hi all,

I am having a few issues with HP SIM 7.5.0 and SNMPv3, a security requirement has forced us to update all CI's on the network to use SNMPv3 rather than SNMPv2.

I am currently testing SNMPv3 on an Onboard Administrator of an enclosure, I am able to snmpwalk to the CI with the credentials but HP SIM will not discover it.

I have created the user on the OA with the following settings (credentials omitted):

Username: admin
Authentication: SHA1
Password: password
Security authNoPriv
Access: read/write

I have also added the SNMP Alert (trap) destinations to point to my SIM server with the specified user above:

admin - 0x8000000b0453474836303559504852

At this point I am able to walk to the CI using Paessler's SNMP Tester and snmpwalk.exe, however SIM will not discover the CI even though I have entered the same credentials in the global credentials interface.

* Checking for SNMP protocol support on system...
Normal: The system did not respond to SNMP. Verify security settings and
community strings in Options->Security->Credentials->System
Credentials
* Checking for SNMPv3 protocol support on system...
Normal: The system did not respond to SNMPv3. Verify security settings and
v3 credentials in Options->Security->Credentials->System
Credentials

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, any help appreciated... I've been at it for hours, thanks!

Hello,

Does the xml reply still work for your onboard Admin? I believe discovery of items in the enclosure is done by Reading the xml page of the onboard admin

Same settings works for me in the lab, anyfirewall in between? 161?

What OA Fw Version are you running?

For my proliant servers I found that I had to also allow access from HP SIM to port 80/tcp on the iLO before discovery would be successful.

Here are all the ports I ended up opening:

=== HP SIM --> iLO ===
161/udp - SNMP queries
443/tcp - https
80/tcp - http
22/tcp - ssh
17990/tcp - Remote Console
17988/tcp - virtual Media for Remote Console

=== ilo --> HP SIM ===
162/udp - SNMP traps
